Chapter 202: Locusts Bite
As soon as Feng Shanyue heard that it was Wen Feiyun's order, she gratefully accepted the bronze medal, and then rushed to Yudi with Butterfly Dance. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Yuheng looked at the backs of the two of them speeding away, and shook his head with a smile, "I don't know what is so good about this little girl, she actually makes Boss Wen so interested!"
Yudi is four or five hundred miles away from Huofeng Country, and Feng Shanyue leaned on the sheepskin map given to her by Yuheng, but she didn't get lost.
"Miss, in half a day, we will be able to rush to Yudi!"
Feng Shanyue nodded, pulled up the reins, and asked Chuxue to stop, "Find a place to rest for a while! After running for most of the day, the horses will also have to rest." ”
Butterfly Dance hurriedly led the two horses aside to graze, while Feng Shanyue leaned against a big tree to rest in the shade and eat some dry food by the way.
"Miss, when we arrived in Yudi, how did we find Ming Gongzi?"
"He must be in the local government, let's just go to the government office to find him. ”
Butterfly nodded, took out a piece of bread from her baggage, and ate it too.
"Ah~~" She suddenly exclaimed and threw the bread in her hand.
"What's wrong?"
"Yes...... There's a bug!!"
"Worm?" Feng Shanyue hurriedly got up and picked up the bread on the ground and looked at it, it turned out to be a locust. She reached out and grabbed the locust, then trampled it on the ground, "It's just a locust, it's all right." ”
"This ...... Is this a locust?"
Feng Shanyue glanced at her funny, "You girl, you say that it is a girl's life, but you are more delicate than Miss, why don't you even know locusts?"
Butterfly Dance pouted, "Haven't you seen it, doesn't this insect bite?"
Feng Shanyue shook her head, "It eats grain and blades of grass, and it won't bite!"
Two hours later, Butterfly Dance listened to the deafening cry of a baby in her ears, and said in a daze, "Miss, you lie, didn't you say that locusts don't bite?"
Feng Shanyue had already turned over and dismounted, and walked towards a small grass hut on the side of the road, where an earth-shattering cry was being heard. Just now, the two of them saw through the window that there was a crying baby on the couch, and locusts were beating on it.
When Butterfly Wu saw Feng Shanyue dismounting, she also quickly dismounted, and then tied the two horses well. There are more and more locusts along the way, and sometimes they jump on the horse's eye, and the horse will be startled. If they scare the horses away, they will be in trouble.
"Butterfly Dance, come on!"
Hearing Feng Shanyue screaming in the house, Butterfly Dance hurriedly rushed in, "Miss, what's wrong?"
"Come and help, go mix some salt water, I'm going to wash this kid's face and hands. ”
"Ah~~~ How can this be?" Butterfly Dance was so frightened that she took a step back, only to see Feng Shanyue holding a month-old baby in her arms. The baby's small face, which should have been delicate, was now full of blood marks from locust bites. When she heard the cry from outside the house just now, she guessed that it was a locust biting someone, and she guessed correctly!
"Okay, don't be in a daze! Go get a little salt from our luggage and mix it with water! This kid has been bitten, we need to clean the wound quickly, if it becomes inflamed, it will be troublesome!"
"Yes...... Yes, yes!" Butterfly Dance quickly turned around to get salt, then went to the kitchen to find a bowl and mixed a bowl of salt water.
"Miss, the salt water is here!"
"Okay, you help chase the locusts out on the side, and I'll help him clean his wounds!"
Butterfly Dance didn't look closely just now, but now I saw that the bedding on this couch was densely packed with brown-green locusts, and people felt numb when they saw it. The bamboo walls on all sides were also densely parked with locusts, and from time to time there were one or two flying to Feng Shanyue.
However, Feng Shanyue didn't care about these at all, she was gently dipping a silk silk in salt water to clean the child's wounds. The saline water was painful when it came into contact with the wound, and the child's cry was even more heart-rending than before.
"Baby, don't cry, baby, sister, lighter!"
Feng Shanyue coaxed softly, but she didn't stop in her hand. There were no anti-inflammatory drugs in ancient times, although locust bites would not be toxic or anything, but on this hot day, I was afraid that the wound would be infected, and it would be troublesome at that time.
Butterfly Wu looked at Feng Shanyue's focused appearance, her eyes were a little moist, this is a real princess, but she is holding a civilian child at the moment, just like holding a supreme and noble baby. She blinked, trying to hold back the feeling of crying, and kept helping Feng Shanyue and the child drive away the flying locusts.
"Who are you, and what have you done to my children?"
Suddenly, with a heart-rending exclamation, a woman rushed into the house, desperately pushed Feng Shanyue and Butterfly Dance away, and then hugged the crying child tightly. She looked at Feng Shanyue and the others in horror, these two people were dressed very luxuriously, not something that a slave like her could dream of, and she knew that they were nobles at a glance.
The mother's instinct made her protect the child tightly, but she did not dare to question these two nobles. Because the life of a slave is worse than that of an animal, if you offend them, you and your children may die.
"Don't be afraid!" Feng Shanyue raised her hands and took two steps back, indicating that she had no malicious intent, "I just passed by your house and heard the child crying in the house, so I came in to take a look." ”
"Crying?" the woman looked down at the child blankly, "Oh my God, what's wrong with his face?"
"They were all bitten by locusts!" said Butterfly Dance unhappily, "My young lady heard your child crying and came in to see it, and it turned out that the locusts had covered the child. These wounds are the ones left by the locusts. Fortunately, my lady drove the locusts away and cleaned his wounds with salt water. If you don't appreciate it, forget it, and still be fierce to my young lady, be careful of me......"
"Okay, Butterfly Dance, don't scare her, she's scared enough!" Feng Shanyue stopped Butterfly Dance and said with a smile, "I really just did what she said just now, and I didn't do anything to the child." The child has wounds on his face and hands, you should help him clean the wounds quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome. ”
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" the woman knelt on the ground with the child in her arms, and kept kowtowing to Feng Shanyue.
Feng Shanyue hurriedly helped her up and taught her how to clean the child's wounds.
"Sister-in-law, the child is still so young, why don't you take care of him at home, but run away? Although locusts can't kill people, the child must be very scared, and if this face is not well cared for, it may also leave scars. ”
The woman wept as she cleaned the child's wounds, "The slave was ordered by his master to go to the field to fight locusts. I thought that the child should be fine when he was sleeping at home. Who knew that this abominable locust could even gnaw human flesh!"
"Is the locust plague serious here?"
The woman nodded, "The grain in the master's field has been almost gnawed, and he has asked us slaves day and night to fight the locusts, but we still can't help it." I heard that there is no food in the fields over there. ”
"How far is it from Yudi?"
"It's not far away, this is the place where it borders Yudi, if you ride a horse, you can rush to Yucheng after dark. ”
Feng Shanyue nodded, and asked Butterfly Dance to leave all the food in the burden for the woman. She didn't dare to give money, for fear of causing trouble to the family. After all, it would not be a lucky thing for a destitute slave family to suddenly have a lot of extra money and let the master's family know.
In the woman's thousand thanks, Feng Shanyue and Butterfly Dance hurried and rushed to Yucheng.
